Ribs for Naval Training Exercises

Solent Rib Charter work with a number of NATO navies providing Ribs for naval exercises. Most training exercises involve multiple Ribs ‘attacking’ warships both as bespoke training events for individual ships as well as participation in annual Joint Warrior NATO exercises.

These training exercises have been developed around changing threat profiles, and according to the feedback, are proving invaluable to naval warfare officers preparing for deployment to higher risk areas.
